In the Southern United States, Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a long tradition. Churches advertise what are generally week-long programs in the summer. Parents sign their kids up and bring them for a week of Bible school lessons at the church. It is something like a Christian day camp lasting two to four hours per day depending on the church.

VBS programs have become quite slick in recent years, with national groups putting together packages for churches to buy. The packages include themed curriculum, scripts, backdrops and decorations, posters, custom music CDs, song books, etc. Here is one such VBS package being sold this year:

If you look at that page, you can see that the children who attend and are indoctrinated at Vacation Bible School start receiving hypocrisy and false promises from the very start. Look at the page’s first paragraph of text:

Every kid wishes they could fly…
So imagine transforming your church into the boundless blue sky! At Sky VBS, kids discover that by trusting God, everything is possible.

By trusting God, everything is possible… except the kids will NEVER be able to fly like superman, with a cape as pictured. How much more hypocritical can things get?

If anything is possible with God, why can’t kids fly like superman?

Here is one of the songs that the kids learn at Sky VBS:

“It doesn’t matter who you are, you can trust God.”

Right after singing this song, the children are introduced to Operation Kid-to-Kid, where they are asked to bring money for mosquito nets:

Yes, you can trust God – unless you are a kid dying of Malaria in Mali. In that case, this “trustworthy” God is letting 2,000 kids die per day.

How can such rank hypocrisy and superstition legally be taught to children?

“By trusting God, everything is possible… except the kids will NEVER be able to fly. How much more hypocritical can things get?”

I have flown over a 1000 times. From Willis Wing hang gliders, the wingsuit to the 747-8.

We all die. God never promised anyone they would live forever. These kids according to this material are attempting to help children around the world. S0 what are atheists doing other than telling kids you will fail at all you do?

What are atheists doing?

The man who won the Nobel prize for discovering the cause of malaria was an atheist:

“S0 what are atheists doing other than telling kids you will fail at all you do?”

Lies, just like heaven and biblical redemption.

How about common sense? and:

1. God doesn’t exist. He won’t do shit for you, so wear your seat belts. Go see a doctor if you need one.

2. Life is short, so be tolerant. There’s no afterlife.

3. Every other stupid thing the bible tells you to do, don’t.

“We all die. God never promised anyone they would live forever.”

The bible also said prayers are answered. Well?

Hard to believe that theists are still trying desperately to perpetuate this lie. Let’s go to the source, Einstein himself:
“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”

Case closed. But, more to point… so what if Einstein WAS a theist? Why is it so important to them to want him on “their” side that they feel compelled to lie?

“Case closed. But, more to point… so what if Einstein WAS a theist? Why is it so important to them to want him on “their” side that they feel compelled to lie?”

Simple – because that’s the essence of their belief, it’s based upon a lie.

“Indeed, if miracles, answered prayers, and regrown limbs were seen, [and if Einstein was a theist] the faithful would trumpet this as evidence for God, and of course many believers are always looking (in vain) for such evidence, viz. the search for the remnants of Noah’s Ark, the supposed authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, the ludicrous attempts of creationists to verify that the Grand Canyon was caused by the flood. In truth, believers want, need, and look for for evidence for their faith.”

“By trusting God, everything is possible… except the kids will NEVER be able to fly. How much more hypocritical can things get?”

“I have flown over a 1000 times. From Willis Wing hang gliders, the wingsuit to the 747-8.”

Only in the last 110 years of his tens of thousands of years existence did scientific knowledge allow man to build flying-machines. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with “trusting god.”

Oh yea, how does that “trusting god” delusion work during a plane crash that kills (trusting god) people?

Theist lie.

“You and Lou(DFW) are two peas in a pod.”

On this. I don’t think we agree on some other things, not that it matters. We do have superior grammar skills and a lack of idiotic beliefs, which distinguishes us rather clearly from you and yours.

“So would you be answering for Lou(DFW) that he does not know anything?”

Are you a liar or illiterate? I said what he knows is irrelevant. It is not delusional not to hold a belief on something you don’t know the relevant information. It is, on the other hand, delusional to hold a belief on something that you don’t know the relevant information. What I said, clearly enough the first time, is that what Lou knows or doesn’t know is irrelevant, no matter how hard you try to make it relevant in this case. Since I can’t fathom that you’re actually this stupid, I have to assume you’re at least somewhat disingenuous, i.e. a liar.

“Would this be the claim of atheists? We know nothing?”

No, you retard. This has been covered umpteen times. The claim of atheists is simple: we see no reason to believe in any sort of god (this is the claim, and it’s valid by our own admissions about what we see as foundations for reasonable belief), and thus we don’t believe in any sort of god (this is not a claim, it is a conclusion that defines us as atheists).

Many atheists make other claims, for examples:
-The God of Christianity and Islam is a fiction. This is provable and has been proved here before. Judges 1:19 + belief in omnipotence alone does it.
-Christianity itself, whatever actual “god” might be behind it, is not verifiably true and contains many strong reasons to suspect that it is false.
-Donkeys and snakes don’t talk and never did, whatever the bible says about the matter.
-God, as presented in the bible, is not to be worshipped because he is an inept monster with the moral and intellectual development of a spoiled child.

“Let me recount the claims.”

This should be rich.

“Theist lie.”

If they claim that they know there is a God, then yes, they do. Most seem to lie more often than that, on here particularly about atheists. Normally, we might chalk it up to ignorance except that these statements are made repeatedly, which removes that absolution from the list of possibilities.

“Theist are delusional.”

Yes, by definition. Either you “KNOW” there is a God, in which case you’re lying, or you believe on faith, in which case you’re, BY DEFINITION, delusional.

“Children will never fly (not much faith in evolution ironically)”

Um, if you mean like in the picture, that’s probably true. I don’t know who says they’ll “never” fly, but this is just another term you’ve tried to prevaricate on already, so this assertion and any rebuttal we offer is a bullshit attempt on your part to “lure” us into a “bad” place, when indeed, this has to be the finest bit of chessboard-strutting I’ve seen since Christlover.

“Since you and Lou(DFW) know nothing can we use that for these three claims?”

Let’s start with the fact that this statement already proves that you’re a liar, per your first claim….

You moron, the “charge” is that god exists, not that he doesn’t exist. Theists are the PLAINTIFFS, not the defendants! The plaintiff-theists present their evidence to the court. If successful, the court will issue a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. Present your evidence for your imaginary god or your case is summarily dismissed as frivolous.

Erections of patently false lines of reasoning, again, suggesting either idiocy or mendacity, but given the number of times such ‘arguments’ get refuted & the fallacious lines of reasoning pointed out to them, must be the latter.”

As Lou pointed out, this is shifting the burden of proof. More strutting on the chessboard, just like Christlover. When are you jokes going to go look that up and learn how it works? Again: it’s no one’s job to prove something isn’t real. It’s people’s jobs to prove that things are real. This isn’t complicated.

It was said: “Theist lie.”
“If they claim that THEY KNOW (my bold) there is a God, then yes, they do.”

You DO claim all the time that you KNOW there is a god, don’t they?
To make other people KNOW there is a god, theists have to elaborate their claim. The best way would be to provide some evidences, which they never do.
Now, it MUST be a lie, if they can’t prove their “knowing” to other people. They can only TELL us they “know” it.

Actually you DO NOT KNOW there is a god.
That is why your claim IS a lie.

No, we did not. There’s nothing for us to prove – “fail.”

“I can prove I do not not have 6 fingers on my right hand. Therefore a negative can be proven. You don’t have that lame argument any longer.”

Once again, you’re using deception to avoid the issue. You are taking the common argument “You can’t prove a negative” out of context. Of course a “negative” can be proven, as you just easily demonstrated. In the context of these discussion, the phrase means that the non-existence of something can’t be proven – “fail.”

The “argument” is not that a negative cannot be proven. The argument is that you don’t have any evidence for your imaginary god.

All you continue to do is lie about atheists and shift the burden of proof.

Let’s try to get this through your lying, thick skull again – the ONLY claim that requires evidence is this – GOD EXISTS.

Do you have any evidence or not? This is a yes or no question. The absence of your reply constitutes a “no” reply.

Zeus is the god of thunder. Thunder exists, and must have a cause. That cause is Zeus. There have also been countless books written about Zeus.

You are making the positive claim that I am wrong… so prove it.

Well here we are again, and I suppose it always comes down to this…

The exsistence of a god cannot be proven by any measurable etc. means that we know of…. so there’s a fair chance that such a think doesn’t exsist

the non exsistence of a god cannot be proven, as described so adequately by DPK above…. so theres a chance such a thing might exist

Are we talking probabilities based on our known experience? in which case a god as usually described by theists is incredibly unlikely to exsist (but may do so)

Or, do we choose to believe that the writings etc. put forward by theists are true records of the devine at work in the world.. …could be I suppose

Personally i don’t believe in any god I’ve ever heard of, they are interesting myths and fables but no more to me. I don’t think that many atheists would say that it’s a fact that no god exists, I know i wouldn’t. I think it’s incredibly unlikely, but always possible..

How many theists would be similarly open minded about atheism or other belief structures i wonder?

Then let’s confirm something that you seem to be inferring – theism is a “belief structure,” but atheism is NOT a “belief structure.” Atheism isn’t really even an “-ism.”

A person is either a theist or they aren’t. It’s not necessary to proclaim “I am an atheist,” but only “I am not theist.”

In the context of god, there’s no other “belief structure” than theism, but there are different religions, denominations, etc.

49.anastasia said …

“Well here we are again, and I suppose it always comes down to this…”

Yes, it ALWAYS comes down to this… the theists can offer nothing to support their claims about the existence of their gods. Indeed, they agree with atheists that all the OTHER people’s gods, and all the OTHER gods throughout history are in fact completely imaginary. Then they run through the argument from ignorance… “you can’t explain x.y.or z… so therefore it must be a god. Then, when all that is once again discredited and dismissed… the last resort… “You can’t prove god does not exist.” Which intellectually carries the same weight as saying “You can’t prove unicorns don’t exist.”
And that about sums it up. Curious though that they never seem to tire of running around the same circle, even though they always end up at the same spot, which is exactly where they began, with nothing but superstitious myths, legends, and an almost pathological fear of death.

There is no God.
Theists are delusional.
Theists are liars.

But then they oddly claim they don’t know anything????? True but that is non sequitur.

What do they do? They resort to multiple fallacies going back to their lack of understanding about basic foundational issues. It is always the same

Check out all the other claims on godisimaginary.com. Not one of them has supporting evidence. Only assumptions, diversions and lack of understanding.

they shouldn’t even care. it’s the righteousness that makes them care. they think they’re going to heaven so, nyah, nyah! also the entitlement. from placing bibles in hotels and also tebowing to show everyone. do you see muslims doing that shit?

i don’t go around saying “fuck god” or “fuck santa”. it’s offensive. these theist assholes just can’t see it. when i sneeze, people say “bless you” and i let it go most of the time. sometimes, i retort with “..and allah blesses you”.

No, I see them beheading individuals, raping woman and bombing planes, buildings and nations.

I’ll take the tebowing and Bibles in hotels, all legal and safe like. Who cares!

Do you have a problem with atheist’s lawsuits and billboards? I bet not and neither do I.

alex and severin your hate is ridiculous. The Christians haven’t done anything to hurt you. They just beat you in a debate. Move on mate.

you’re an idiot. where have you been? taking a break from beating up gays? can’t find an abortion clinic to bomb? tired of delivering your bibles? can’t find any kids to molest? should i continue?

the xtians have won the debate? where/how? because you say so? the same idiot that says god exists? my god zeus can kick your god’s ass, how’s that?

moss, you’re just too stupid to get it.

i know, you’ll claim you’re a good xtian and you don’t do all those hateful things. these are the same exact arguments that good muslims say.

but, you’ll insist that your god is the one. all thru history, many different kinds of people all proclaim that their god is the one. same claims, same bullshit. and along comes idiot moss, trumpeting the same old tired shit.

“No, I see them beheading individuals, raping woman and bombing planes, buildings and nations.”

You see exactly the same that Christians used to do some time ago (and are doing it today, less publicly).
As I said, it is only question of timing.
AND: Muslims believe in god and are doing their crimes in name of god EXACTLY as Christians used to do: let’s, for example, impose our religion to Indians (Africans, …) no matter what it costs (and you know how much it costed).
There is ABSOLUTELY no difference between Christians and Muslims.

“Do you have a problem with atheist’s lawsuits and billboards?”
No. I have problem with all sort of churches with their towers, that I can’t avoid to see behind each corner, and even more with their loud and aggressive propaganda and their aggressive trying to impose their “philosophy” to everyone they see.
Why don’t you practice your religions at your homes? Aren’t they (religions, believing in whatever) in the first place PRIVATE MATTER? Why are you so obsessed with other people thinking differently than you?
Where your obsession with imposing your bullshit opinions to everybody comes from?
I never ever tried to impose my atheism to anyone.

“The Christians haven’t done anything to hurt you.”
Except they killed G. Bruno (it hurts me!), they aggressively decelerated the progress of science (Galileo et al), they killed millions of Indians, they supported slavery, they burned “witches” (and I suspect one of them, burned 1743 in Croatia, was one of my great grand mother), they blow clinics, they inspired Hitler, …
AND they teach children god created the universe.
AND they shit about afterlife without any evidences, AND they impose fear of sex to children (MY children), AND …
They did A LOT to me! All that, and more, hurts me.

“alex and severin your hate is ridiculous.”
I am unable to hate. If you see hate in my posts, something is very wrong with you.

And, of course, Christianity, not atheism, inspired people to do THIS:

read everything you have wrote and think god doesn’t allow suffering mankind does it is man that made this world the way it is not god.stop blaming.g god he gave mankind the book to live by and like all children man thinks he knows what’s best in reality man knows nothing and it is mankind greed that has caused all the worlds abominations.

First of all any decent mathematician can tell you a negative can be proven, and the equation is easily available. Secondly, absence of evidence is evidence of absence when there should have been some by now. Theist tell lies to belie their ignorance on evolution…..Oh, they tell them to try and prove evolution is incorrect? Well, what do they think first cause is? An automatic equation of proof that a god exist if …….this is a big if…………Snore………Anyway, they think they need not present any scientific evidence for a god, so I’ll throw Russell’s little ditty right back. Prove that there isn’t a celestial teapot circling the sun, and I’ll listen to more than you’ll ever know about the bible, which is still a lot less than I know. How’d you all feel about that religious quiz from April, 2011? LOL.

@ Moss.LOL. Yeah sure. Like D’sousza beat Avalos on atheism causing the holocaust. I don’t recall a single debate won by Xians, especially since all the great apologist are now atheist. Dinesh didn’t seem to be aware of Luther’s 7 point pogrom on exterminating the Jews. Great debate and research D.D. LOL.

That leaves out prime.

“absence of evidence is evidence of absence when there should have been some by now.”

Oh like galaxies, stars, information, DNA, laws, cellular design and cellular respiration just to name a few? Your absence has been removed.

“Prove that there isn’t a celestial teapot circling the sun,”

See your first claim. Second, such comparisons have been discredited as fallacious. Third, we have no plans to begin a blog WWCTHA.

Those people would never do that if they weren’t believers. Never ever!

Do you expect me to believe and support an idea ending in such horrors? No, thanks!

And, why your (almighty?) god does not stop such horrors made in HIS name?

Curmudgeon, in his sad attempt at wit, once again unknowingly broadcasts his ignorance and stupidity to the world, equating a mathematical concept with the idea of reasonable belief in something in the physical world.
Numbers are IDEAS… and as such any IDEA you can conceive of exists as a mathematical concept. So yes, a negative number can be the answer to an equation and can be proven, as can the idea that a mathematical sum is NOT equal to something (proving a negative). But Curm… since you claim to be brilliant that Prime, or any of us who do not buy into your bullshit theistic beliefs… show us please, a negative quantity that exists in reality, outside the human mind. Show us please, -100 coffee beans… where do they exist? Show us a -million gallons of water. Since you can’t do that, lets try something simpler for you, that equates directly with what you are demanding of us. Since you claim you can prove a negative, go ahead and prove for us that Russel’s celestial teacup does NOT exist.
Will this be another challenge that you will run away from, like you did in the other thread when you failed to back up your claim that 40yr “provides solid arguments and does so in in a mature way.” Did you think everyone wouldn’t notice that you walked away from that one, like you do ALL your baseless claims and lies?
Why do you continue to keep coming back here, again and again to be made a fool? You’d think you would tire of it by now.

Hey a lot of interesting information. I hope you all have children then you could treat them the way you athiests talk about someone elses god. But your god is a real god. A god that is giving you an image of faulsehood that nothing else matters at all (metelica said that).Me I say this there are many gods heaps some call them satan, Jesus, God, Allaha,carry on and on. Well your god obviously lets you down time and again. Because you dont know that its not in going to church (in a building) but in a relationship with some person who loves you with all your faults that is a God. Yes ask yourself what motivates you? some say sex, drugs, helping others, I say that that is your motivator, and that motivator is your god. ep, a god is a motivator, so look at what you have writen is it positive or negative , have you put others down in what you wrote? Then your God (motivator) has given you negative understanding and you seem to be following that.Now take your motivatore away and what do you have left?

I have a motivator what I call a God and that is LOVE! It tends me to helping others forgiving others not seeing the fault in others but sharing and helping others. Now I ask you to try and take that God away… can you ,,,NO you ant because you can see my God in my actions but you cant take it away because He lives in side of me. Try Him He can never and will never let you down.

BUT He will NEVER force you to live the way you should because He NEVER made you to be a computer, thats why you are given choices, and when WE all go wrong from time to time He forgives and helps you and I to get on a right road. I have thought and studied and never found any other person who has only asked one thing of us all…to love one another and that is JESUS.

on 11 Jul 2012 at 5:51 pm 77.Prime said …

Actually, 74.DPK, I don’t think that’s exactly what Crum meant in 69. I expect he meant that you can use reductio ad absurdum to prove things like that “the square root of two is not a ratio of two integers” or “there is a number that is simultaneously even and odd.”

The thing he doesn’t understand is that this is on a completely different playing field from making claims about the natural world, and the thing about God as an abstraction is twofold bad for him:
1. Who the hell cares, then?
2. Most claims about abstract God can be destroyed by reductio ad absurdum, as you have done on here repeatedly, once they own up to some definition.

on 11 Jul 2012 at 5:52 pm 78.Prime said …

Correction: the second thing you might prove with reductio ad absurdum should read “there is NOT a number that is simultaneously even and odd.”

First of all I am a true Christian and I can not believe this web site its disgustingly horrific to actually see so many think that God is not real. Who do u think you are how do u think there is breath in your body every morning you wake up and throughout the day let me guys ur just so mighty that you can do it on ur own well think again… I know God is real in my life you must have not tried him …if you stop trying to control your life and let God you will see but its by your faith of course u will not see what u think u ought to see from Him until u let Him be your saviour and look how great and merciful He is that u still have breath in your bodies food on your tables clothes on ur back and a roof over ur head u and u alone can do nothing I pray that you will all open your eyes and honestly examine yourselves how happy are u without God? I have joy everyday at the age of 22 and i dont need alcohol drugs parties nonf that i happily married with 4 kids I got joy everyday I’m not sad depressed angry or anything I’ve had a child pass away. 2 yrs ago my father pass when I was 12 a mom who rather get her life together than be in her children’s the Lord My God has deliver me from my enemy and from hell fire I love Him and I know He’s real to me no matter what… God Is Real!

asg,

You seem to have come to the decision to accept god with a lot of thought. It seems to have worked for you.
Just one small question for you. It is something that most theists on this site avoid. It will show everyone how much research that you’ve put into deciding to accept god. Here it is:

What is the age of our planet Earth and the universe?

There was a someone (named Horatio) on this WWGHA site who said our planet is 4.6 billion years old. Do you agree? And the universe is about 14 billion years old.

asg gets the award for the longest run on sentence ever written.

What makes you think I am not happy and fulfilled?
I have a great life with love and real people, and don’t need a make believe friend to feel worthwhile.

I am sorry to hear you lost a child. I’ve never had that experience. I can only imagine your pain, and I can understand why you find the thought that your child is in some magical place happily waiting for you is so comforting to you that you are willing to believe anything to keep that delusion intact.

Just realize that not everyone is as co-dependent as you, and that a great many people can live very happy, very fulfilling lives without believing in lies and fairy tales.

Are strippers “real people?” ;>)

People like asg are in a sad place.

Despite his claim to “have joy everyday,” he must denigrate atheists in order to justify and legitimize his claim. In reality, he most likely is unhappy (married with four kids – yikes), and his only hope for happiness is an imaginary heaven afterlife. He will finally get his reward, and all of we atheists will receive our punishment (for being happy).

SO THERE!

Then ask yourself, when people get sick, how many go to a doctor, and how many go to a priest or Imam?
That will show you how many true believers there actually are… hahahaha.
How about you Ben? When you get sick, do you trust in god and the power of prayer to make you better, or do you default to the heathen scientist?

The United States of America was in fact founded by people trying to escape the tyranny of European theocracies, and who were wise enough to write safeguards into the framework to prevent exactly the kind of “unforgiving theocracy” that Sad is anxious for from becoming possible. They understood full well that freedom of religion also requires freedom from religion for those that desire it.

The rights within the bill of rights are known as “GOD given rights”.

Samuel Adams was a Congregationalist.

95.DPK, the founders of America were not trying to escape any theocrats.

They were trying to escape from the tyranny of English rule.

The English government was a very unholy, and barbaric one. It did not follow the laws of GOD, and was not a country of GOD. It was a country that had abandoned GOD.

England became consumed with great poverty and decided to tax the English colonies of North America. They taxed many things and never gave the settlers any say in the decision making.

The English settlers were tired of bieng tormented by their cruel, godless rulers.

They decided to form a new country based on the teachimgs of GOD, such as the following.

1. All people are equal under GOD and the law.

2. All people are entitled to rights that are GOD given.

3. People have the right to control what their government does. And no human can rule over them, except Jesus.

The founding of America was not caused by a desire to escape theorcrates, it was founded by a desire for a new nation where people could have rights and would control their government and would be founded by GOD.
